Q56 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Jan Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let, f:R→R be a function such that fx=x3+x2f'1+xf''2+f'''3, ∀x∈R. Then f2 equals

  • A
    30
  • B
    8
  • C
    -4
  • Correct answer
    D
    -2

Solution

Let, fx=x3+ax2+bx+c

⇒f'x=3x2+2ax+b

⇒f''x=6x+2a

⇒f'''x=6

According to the question, 

a=f'1=3+2a+b⇒a+b=-3 ...i

b=f''2=12+2a⇒2a-b=-12 ...ii

c=f'''3⇒c=6

Solving equations i & ii, we get, a= -5 & b=2

⇒fx=x3-5x2+2x+6

∴ f2=8-20+4+6=-2.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
